Patrick Kerry Brown

I spent my childhood surrounded by creativity.  My father is a sculptor and my mother an avid musician and geoscientist. I myself took quite an interest in music during my early years.  While attending university I began to notice a persistent need to work with my hands.  I did not quite understand what that meant for me until my parents decided to open a glass blowing studio.  I took only a passing interest in glass at first.  Then I was given the opportunity to attend a week long intro to glass blowing class and my life changed.  This ignited a passion in me for the ever changing media of glass.  Much like the fluid sounds of jazz and blues I grew up on, glass seemed to move to the beat of its own drum.  Since that time I have been pursuing glass as both a passion and a living.  My work draws inspiration from both nature and music and the fluidity and pattern found in them.
